NASHVILLE, Tenn, October 1.-THE 9
streets of the city are crowded as they
never were before and are decorated
in the richest manner. Banners NOM
mating the guests OF the day for
second term are to be seen everv-
where. The guests were placed in
carriages and driven to the Fair
Grounds, where members of the com
mittee and others were presented to
the President.
THE USUAL CEREMONIES.
At S:45 the procession formed,
marched to the city and made its way
to the capitol, where, upon stand
erected for the purpose, the necessary
formalities took place. Governor
Taylor's speech was an eloquent ex-
preston of hospitality. The President
responded and spoke in flattering
terms of the beauty of Nashville's
location, the fertility OF the surround
ing country and the great wealth of
mineral resources in the immediate
neighborhood, which assured to Nash
vile great material prosperity.
MERiTED REBUKE.
During the reception to-day, while
many poorly-dressed people, evidently
farmers and working men and wom-
en-, were passing before him, Mr..
Cleveland administered a stinging
rebuke to number of well-dressed
people, who, having been presented,
had stepped back of him and were
making unkind remarks touching the
personal appearance Of those passing
along in front. Hearing the remarks
and laughter, the President said [:
These good people are here out of
respect to me. l am not willing for
you to make sport of them. 1t is not
right" The laughter and comments
ceased.
SCENES EN- ROUTE.
CHATTANOOGA, October 1T he

time at noon. Aftor the train start ed,
many persons followed it as long as
they could by running. Mrs. Cleve-

quets and other presents. Freesboro
and other points of interest were
pointed out. The climb UP the Raccoon
Range and the descent on the south
side with a stretch along the Tennes-
see river was full OF picturesque views.
A rainstorm which the train had been
chasing ever since it left Washington
was at last overtaken before reaching
Chattanooga.
ARRIvALiAT CHATTANOOGA.
As the train pulled into the Chat
tanooga depot it was greeted by
crowd that filled the depot and streets
to overfiowing. The President and
party were met by the reception COM
mittee and escorted to carriages in
waiting. All along the line of march
the streets were profusely decorated
and notwithstanding the rain ,!the line
was followed with the exception of
visit to the historic heights of Gamer
on Hill, from which the federal forces
during the late war shelled the army
on Lookout mountain. The President
was greeted everywhere with the
GREATEST ENTHUSIASM
Crowds OF men and women pressed
forward in the rain to shake hands
with him. To all he could, he gener-
onsly held out his hand receiving
many "God bless you's." The party
returned to'the depot at quarter past
five. There throngs pressed forward
to the platform OF the car to shake
hands with the President until the
train moved off.
HANDSOME SOUVENIRS.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland
were the recipients of several beauti-
full souvenirs, among them being
handsome album containing historic
views and having on its back a large
chip from a pine tree taken from
Chickamauga battlefield, in which
was lodged large piece oil Federal
shell. The President was also pre-
sented with a hickory walking cane
cut from the battlefield of Lookout
mountain by an old rebel soldier.
PROFESSIONS MIXED UP.
ATLANTA, Ga, October 17.-Gov-
ernor Taylor and staff came from
Nashville to Chattanooga on the pilot
train to assist in doing the honors and
had prepared little procession of
their own, which was to go to the
court house and be in readiness to re-
celve the President on his arrival.
The two professions got mixed up in
the darkness and for some reason not
explained to the excursionists the
Presidential procession returned to
the station without having been to the
court house, where thousands of peo-
pie were assembled.
AT BIG sHANTY
Senator Brown boarded the Presi-
dents car for a moment to pay his re-
spects, and little later Mr.. Colyer,
President of the Atlanta Exposition,
Mr.. Grady, Vice President, and Judge
Tomkins, one of the directors, entered
the car and made known to him some
changes in the programme.
LIVELY WELCOME.
The approach to Atlanta was sig
nailed by the firing of cannon, rock
cts, red lights and other demonstra-
tions. The train arrived at the depot
about IL 80 P. NJ. amid the most en-
thusiastic demonstrations of welcome.
The party was driven to the Kimball
House and retired for the night. The
Jam of people was tremendous,
